The place was very clean. It was wet outside so grit from our shoes was brought inside as there was no hard surface paths to the door. We also arrived after dark so it was hard to figure out which tiny home ti go to. It was the one on the far right up on the hill. The place was great for my wife and son to stay after moving our daughter into WCu.

Cozy getaway

This was our first stay in a tiny home and it was lovingly appointed! The decor and finishing touches were great, and we especially appreciated the fresh coffee beans/grinder and area guide. Owners were super responsive as well! Would stay again!

Ice Cream Binge - No Freezer!

Turns out the "Kitchen" is more of a kitchenette! My son and I like to cook, so being that it is a tiny home, we opted for steak and a side of preassembled twice baked potatoes. For dessert we picked up Toffee Klondike bars(6pack), knowing that we would see family the next day and pass the rest on. When we arrived, we modified our meal plan to microwave the second baking of potatoes as twice baked mash potatoes, the steak was great using the induction setup, BUT there was no freezer for the Klondike Bars. When a "Kitchen" was advertised, we assumed a freezer had to be included and maybe a toaster oven or air fryer. Dinner plans got reversed as we got right into eating 6 Klondike bars between the 2 of us before they melted!

Thank you for your feedback, Thomas. I appreciate your insights regarding the kitchenette setup. We aim to clearly describe our amenities, but I understand how the absence of a freezer may have affected your meal plans. It's great to hear that you still enjoyed cooking the steak with the induction setup, and I can certainly see how improvising with the Klondike bars became quite the adventure. Your comments help us improve the experience for future guests, and I’ll consider highlighting the kitchenette features more clearly. Thank you for sharing!
